THE SHADOW ON THE WALL.
BY ". A. TAYLOR.

What are brain and blood and muscle,
But slaves Of the land-owning mann
The serfs Of the priests Of Mammon,
And the game Of clique and clan?
From railway kings to sharpers
It is catch and keep who can.
What boots 1t that honest Labor
Works on for his daily bread,
A ID starves In the bitter struggle,
Or dies meath the heartless tread
or the sleek and stall-fed cattle,
BY the pompous placemen lead?
The law is made for the trickster,
The load for the man that works:
The millions are the Christians
The monopolists the Turks;
There Is meat and wine for the masters,
The lash for the slave that works.
And the haggard lips Of Labor
Have begged vainly for relief,
To find the clutch grow tighter
Ofmonopolist and thief
The bauble span Of his freedom
Grow day by day more brief.
And when on some black tomorrow
The giant, goaded and blind,
Shall smite In his wrath his master,
One blow for his babes and kind,
The pale reapers Of the whirlwind
Will know that they sowed the wind.

4 Street Car Dialogue that Made
Him Tired.

Chicago Labor Enquirer.
The editor of the Enquirer, going
home Wednesday evening, took a
seat in a Milwaukee avenue car,
just opposite two men who were
engaged in conversation. One of
them is small merchant and the
other mechanic. The topic of
conversation was the pending
street car mems strike. After dis
cussing the subject for fifteen min
utes, these twopassengers decided
that the demand of the conductors
and drivers was unreasonable and
a foolish piece of business.
Said the small merchant: THE
trouble with this country is that
it is filling up with foreigners, and
the workingmen will have to put
up with small wages, because there
is no way to help it
The mechanic said: 1T isn't
so much the foreigners, as tits the
new generation has grown up, and
now they must have work; so, as
you say, there's nothing to do but
to work for the wages we can get
Great God! And these are the
fellows we are trying to help.

succeed. Their success will be
followed by permanent 'ahd ire
sistible organization.
In the workings of capital we
see two distinct movements oper-
ating alternately; one growing
constantly greater. while the other
is constantly growing less. The
first is combination, through which
capital as a whole is indefinitely
increased in extent and power by
the absorption of natural agencies
and of the products of labor. The
other is competition, through
which the number of capitalists
tends to decrease.
These two forces we say work
alternately, but in the end compe-
ton must disappear. Every new
absorption of territory by capital
is followed by war between the
capitalists for its control. AS the
number ofcapitalists decreases the
possibility and magnitude of COM
binations naturally increase.
This is we'll illustrated by the
march of events. First, we had
the individual capitalist; then the
corporation, which was an aggre-
cation of capitalists; now we have
the trust or the syndicate, which
is an aggregation of corporations.
But in the light of this monopo-
listic development there is a ray
of hope for labor. 1t will be easi.

Marinette Eagle.
There are fifty individuals and
firms in New York City whose ag-
gregated wealth is estimated by
good, careful judges to aggregate
fully 81 ,ooo,ooo.ooo! This crop of
millionaires has been very largely
the product of the past twenty-five
years, and does not include very
many whose wealth isnot far from
a million each. Well may the
masses of the American people
pause in wonder at the gigantic
strides made during the last quar-
ter Of a century in the concentra-
ton of the wealth of the country
in the hands of the few. Although
not yet IFS years old, this nation
has already entered on a period in
its history strikingly analogous to
that of ancient Rome at the COM
mencement of the decline of the
empire. While there is doubtless
a greater concentration of wealth
at the city of New York than at
any other single point on the con-
tinent, yet the same process OF
concentration goiug on there is
going on everywhere, all over the
land, with greater or less intensity
as the press of population is
greater or less at given points.
Well may our people pause in
their mad scramble for wealth at
the expense of virtue and man.

BUFFALO, Sept. 2o.-The Social

morning at 9 o'clock in Turner
Hall. The committee on platform

other committees reported. A
resolution was introduced con-
demning the action of the supreme
court of Illinois in strong terms,
which was unanimously adopted.
Then debate commenced on a
report of a committee of four ap-
pointed last night to make propo-
Sitions as to the position of the
Socialistic Labor Party toward the
different labor parties. Delegates
Jonas, Walther, Metzler and Gron-
lund participated.
AT yesterdays session a letter
was read from the International
Workingmen's Association sent
by Burnette G. Haskell of Den

mission to the Socialistic Labor
Party. This created considerable
deb3te. Metzler of Philadelphia
spoke against it, Editor Jonas

The Agencies That Destroyed the d.
man Republic.

The following extract from the
writings of Sallust, the greatest of
the Roman historians, is deserving
OF being read by the American
people. A knowledge of the
causes that led to the overthrow
of the republic of Rome may pre-
vent similar ruin to our own
country:
AFTER the republic, by perse-
verance and integrity, had extend
ed its domain far and wide, fatal
changes took place. AT first the
love of money and then that OF
power began to prevail, and these
became as it we're the source OF
every evil. For avarice subvert-
ed integrity and other honorable
principles, and in their stead pro-
NOTED pride, inhumanity, con-
tempt for the gods and venality.
Ambition prompted many to be-
come deceitful; to keep one thing
concealed in the breast and an
other ready on the tongue; to es-
innate friendship and enmities,
not by their true worth but accor-
ding to interest; and to carry
rather a specious countenance
than an honest heart. These
vices at first advanced but slowly,
and we're sometimes restrained by
correction; but afterward, when
their infection had spread like a
pestilence, the state was entirely
changed, and the government from
being equitable and praiseworthy
became rapacious and unbearable!
At first the minds of men were in
nuenced less by avarice than by
ambition, a vice which approaches
) nearer to virtue than the other.
For the honor and power the
worthy is as desirious as the
worthless; but the one pursues
them by just methods, the other
by fraud and deceit. When wealth
was once considered an honor and
power attended on it, virtue lost
her influence, poverty was regard
cd as disgrace, and life of inno-
cence as imbecility. Luxury, av-
arice and pride prevailed among
the youth. They grew at once
rapacious and prodical; irregular
qualification and open debauchery
we're indulged. Men forgot their
sex; women threw off all re-
straint; every appetite was graft
fed; every want was anticipated
by luxurious indulgence. When
fortunes were wasted the youth
engaged in criminal practices.
Those who catered for the vices
and whims of the populace receiv-
their suffrage. Modesty and con-
tinence were set at naught, and
all consideration of self-restraint
was thrown of"

An Earnest Effort to Aid the Prohibition
Cause Results Disastrously.

Atlanta. fGa.l Special.
The biggest sensation of the prohibition cam
paign developed yesterday III the shape OF a
letter written by Senator Colquitt. the most
prominent exponent of the prohibition idea IN
the country. The fight is close one. and the
Prohibitionists particularly, are pulling every
wire to land the negro vote. The leaders have
met with opposition and half-hearted support
by some of the negro preachers, and one result
is the letter of Senator Colquitt

nent ministers of the colored Methodist Episcc-
pal Church in the South. He is pastor ofswhat

Flipper has not taken active part in this cam
pagn. Not able to induce him to preach for
their cause the Prohibition party through Sen

nual conference of the A. NJ E. Church has
been in session at Rome during the past week
During the session of the conference Bishop
Waynnan. who presided, received letter from
Senator Colquitt in which the Senator stated
that Flipper was not working for prohibition,
and suggesting that if there were anv changes
TO be made that he pay particular attention to

to-days Constitution and the negroes of the city
are very indignant. Flipper, when interviewed,

take no part in contests of political nature
like this.
